Now , your system should accept Arabic fonts in most applications (Word Pad, MS Word, Outlook Express and many more. Just select the Arabic text then select the Arabic font to apply, and there you have it, Arabic text on a non-Arabic system). Now you would need an Arabic Keyboard to be able to type Arabic on your PC or laptop. I recommend you buy either an Arabic keyboard for your PC/laptop or Arabic Stickers for your Keyboard (I recommend you get the full Arabic keyboard for your PC/laptop as stickers tend not to last long).

One final and very useful advice.. While learning Arabic or if you are traveling to an Arab country, I suggested getting an Arabic electronic dictionary. I spent some time browsing the Internet looking for a good one. I ended up choosing the Language Teacher by ECTACO. It is like having your own Arabic teacher on the move.
It is very well worth its cost.

By public demand, I added some recommended books and software on learning Arabic (plus some books on Arab history). If you are interested then do check them out. They are mostly recommended by non-native Arabic language students:

. HOW TO MAKE THE MOST OUT OF THIS ARABIC LANGUAGE COURSE? Do you hate huge paper dictionaries as much as I hate them? While learning Arabic or if you are traveling to an Arab country, I highly recommend getting an Arabic language electronic dictionary. I spent some time browsing the Internet looking for a good one. I ended up choosing the Language Teacher by ECTACO.
I was really startled by the value! They make dictionaries in more than 20 languages (including Arabic) and in various price categories. I recommend these dictionaries to anyone who intend traveling to Arab countries or wants to learn Arabic on the move. They also make great gifts!
You can familiarize yourself with such dictionaries here. Make your time learning Arabic easier - you have no idea how much help you can get from a tiny handheld device. I guarantee you'll be as amazed as I was.
